Man, if only I could find gamers with your philosophy of what D&D should be where I live. Good luck!

I selected Challenging. Of the half a dozen or so adventures I've created for 4E so far, I've stuck to the suggested encounter difficulty table in Chapter 6 of the DMG. I find that following that table's suggested number of encounters and their difficulty tends to create very challenging, but...

I think it is best if I refrain from discussing this topic. I say that based on events in the other thread.

Why do you think I don't really think that Star Wars Saga, IN MY OPINION, doesn't deserve nomination as Best Game? It is just MO. I don't think ANY game should be nominated as Best anything that's released with so many errors and poor proofreading. Simple as that. I mean come on, the OSCARS...

I am not "trolling". I guess giving my opinion is "trolling"?

This will most likely get me in trouble, but once I saw Star Wars Saga nominated for Best Game/Best Product, I lost all respect for the ENnies. Just MO of course.

Thanks for the help.

Hello, I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this question, but I had a hard time getting the other players in my group to understand this last night. What modifiers apply to the damage an enemy adjacent to you takes when you use the Cleave fighter class power? It is just Strength modifier...

Oh I see. Are you against rewinding everything and picking the campaign back up right before they start breaking the door down?

I have no idea. :o Just kidding. My post is relevant because had Morrus' player's characters had the correct amount of magic items for second level characters, they most likely would not have died. Now, how does your post asking me if my post is relevant to the original poster relevant to the OP?

Actually, it does. Unless, of course, my calculations are off (which is highly likely). At the point where it mentions the characters might have enough XP to level up, each of the Parcels have been awarded.

Yeah, you're right. In Morrus' case, I think if his second level characters had been awarded magic items as shown on the Treasure Parcel tables there wouldn't be as much of an issue about the new players and magic items. However, in his unique case, where he's diverted from the standard rules...

Me too. Back when I ran AD&D if a player's PC died, his new character started at first level, unless the rest of the party was above 7th, in which case I'd allow him to create a new character at 3rd. No magic items whatsoever. Now, I'm thinking like you. I try to remind myself that this is a...

Sure, you can do it that way. But I still argue that the DMG doesn't explain the game that way. My suggestion - if you want to run a game that's easier to maintain - is to follow the guidelines as they're presented in the DMG. If you reverse engineer Keep on the Shadowfell you'll see that the...

Well sure, you can run the game that way. But that's not what the DMG teaches.

Hi Morrus, I say that because it seems to me that the game designers have built the game's challenges (monsters, traps, etc) around the assumption of characters' power access (class powers, feats, magic items, etc.) based on character or party level. A party of five second level characters is...

It is very important - IMO - that DMs follow the rules for Treasure Parcels. It sounds like your 2nd level characters were way behind the rules in regards to magic items.

I always like the "gladiators surviving the arena" set-up for quick, one shot, battle heavy sessions.

Thanks for the replies. I'm shooting for end of next week to have the first one posted.

Hello, Is this the place to post fan created adventures? If so, would I just post the entire adventure into a post? Would it be OK if I just advertised the adventure - plot, level, etc. - and then direct folks to a blog that has the adventure? I'm just curious about how this is done. I'm...
